It ends up being simply a trial run for the arbitration, because the non-prevailing party has no strong reason to accept the result. So, in effect, it ends up doubling the arbitration costs. (which, contrary to popular opinion, are not inconsequential. Attorneys prepare briefs, incur preparation time, and hire experts, just as in a trial)

Best to just do the arbitration and get done with it.
